I won't have time to work on Garnet until I return from winter holidays at home (too much stuff to drag back and forth) But I hope to get the dress finished in January and the beading / embroidery will happen after that.

My cosplay goal is to one day have my closet look like Tomoyo's costume van from Cardcaptor Sakura.

So, I can see there is already a Beatrix but is there a problem with more than one? I was planning on going as her for 2013.

I see no reason why not. I say go for it.

I'd been hesitating on posting here since I wasn't 100% sure I'd even be going to AN, but it looks like I will be and I'm working on a Daryl cosplay (mostly thrift store findings ). I mostly just need a wig and one or two accessories.

@Heliacidal: Like usuki54 said, there are no reason for you not cosplaying her because someone else is, it's a compiling list of everyone who wants to cosplay from Final Fantasy (and well preferably go to one of the photoshoots xD), not some list of 'we need that and that character, first come first serve' lol. So feel free to cosplay that amazing character :P

@Merino: Good luck with Garnet ^_^ Such a pretty dress *.*

@usuki54: Daryl? As in the one from FF6? O.O OMG, Can't wait to see that, she's so rarely cosplayed! *.*

...and I'm going to go update the list now lol. No update on my part as I need to finish my Con-G cosplays first x'D
Poll still there btw! It's mostly there to see if we should have a photoshoot each day or not ^^

@Shouri no Hana: Ahahaha! That is awesome! You'll have to say hi to my friend Tifaia for me lol. I believe she is the one organizing the FF group thingy. XD

@MDA: ULTIMECILALA! *glomp*

@Heliacidal: Nonono! Please! Bring Beatrix!! The more the merrier!! Just like what Uzuki and Nefer said, it's perfectly ok. Cosplay whoever you want to! There's often more than one characters at these shoots, sometimes even 7 of the same character! hehe!

@Uzuki: WHAT ..... O.O
*FALLS OUTTA CHAIR AND BARREL ROLLS BACKWARDS*
Daryl?! From FF VI?! Jump'n chocobo's I think I had a heart attack LOL! She is one of the most obscure FF cosplays, it's VERY rare to see a Daryl cosplay, especially in person! oh, I am so excited now. THIS IS AWESOME. XDD
EDIT: Ah! I remember you! When you posted about Daryl a while back on the FF section of this site! Small world!! XD I never would have known you'd come to Anime North!! Yays!~

and wow at the FF listing now O.O There is so many FF cosplays planned for Anime North next year, and it's not even 2013 yet. Tis awesome...

__________________Due to health, I cannot work on cosplays like I was able to in the past. :'( Or attend cons with ease. Few cosplays that I am working on (when body allows) are:Vampire Hunter D - D (Amano ver.) 5%Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess - Zelda 15%

I'm pleased to hear my choice for first cosplay (for real this time) is garnering interest. AN is actually a bit far for me but a friend of mine lives a few hours from Toronto, and I'd been promising to go down and visit, so we're going to AN with two of her own friends and splitting the hotel cost.

Edit: Got a few photos of the progress so far in my gallery. Still not sure about the gloves... maybe I'm just being nitpicky.
